[edit] User:Misza13's pile!

Thank you for contributing the impressive the pile of supports gathered on my RfA, which passed with a final tally of 0x0104/0x01/0x00. I'm happy that so many people have put faith in my abilities as an admin and promise to use the tools wisely and do my best not to let you down. If I ever may be of assistance, just leave a note on my talk page. Misza13, the rouge-on-demand admin wishes you happy editing!

[edit] Thanks for the BIG hugs

Dear Phaedriel, thanks for your nice message, it gave me good reason to emit a long wiki-smile - something that's all too rare around here these days. No need to blush about the compliments, Frank Rinehart is a great article with fantastic images, but the main one selected has a haunting beauty for me that evokes what must have been the sadness about the fate that befell her nation. Keep all the good stuff coming. And just FYI, Cactus.men NEVER shave ... :-) --Cactus.man ✍ 11:53, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

I also meant to say that your soundtrack project is a fantastic idea. I'll add things in the next few days hopefully, but where the Hell do I start? There's just TOO MUCH STUFF. --Cactus.man ✍ 12:02, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Portal:Indigenous_peoples_of_North_America

Hi. I'm going to ask a wiki buddy to look at this for the more technical side of portals for you too. I think this is a good portal, love the earth tones and wide picture at top, but for FP status, here are my opinions:

• the intro is too long, cut it and cut down the size of the intro picture
• instead of a read more button, make the link with the bolded title in the text of sel. bio., sel. article, etc. In these same sections, make a "candidates" button where people can nominate articles for selection (my Scouting one has this feature, as do many others).
• the space between DYK and cats is sorta big. See if you can rearrange something, like maybe make cats one column or move ToDo into that empty area
• I'd move the map right above wikimedia, as it's so big it makes ToDo (in it's current spot) look like an afterthought
• You may want to set up rolling content (see Scouting and War portals, click the edit button). This isn't actually a requirement as far as I know, but it often gets mentioned in FP noms. You pick an interval (I use monthly), make your supporting files, and the (in my case) 1st of every month the things like selected articles get changed automatically. This lets you pick you next interval's articles ahead of time instead of you being tied to a clock.

If you haven't already, check out the ones at Wikipedia:Featured_portals, such as my Scouting, War, and Food ones. Let me know anytime you list something for featured status or need help. Rlevse 12:35, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Rlevse asked me to take a look at this, so here are some (mostly technical) things that would come up during a FP nom:

• The "DYK" section doesn't have an archive.
• The "Selected picture" section doesn't have a visible photo credit.
• There's no "Major topics" section. (This might take some time to put together, but it can be quite easy if you have a navigation template of some sort to steal links from.)
• The archive links are scattered between the left and right side of the boxes. I'm not sure which is neater aesthetically, particularly as you also have "Read more" links; but they should at least be consistent.

Auto-rotating content would be nice, as Rlevse mentioned; but it's not required so long as you're willing to keep the portal maintained by hand. Kirill Lokshin 15:28, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your message on my talk

My dear Sharon, I'm humbled and a bit shocked that you've been considering this idea! Running for bureaucratship isn't something I've given serious thought to, as I've been perfectly content the past year helping out with my admin buttons. While I give my deepest thanks for your kind, generous words, I'll stay with my decision against running for those extra tools. There are many dedicated, hardworking admins out there that would do a much better job as bureaucrat than I could, and the community doesn't seem to be in dire need for more, as people have pointed out in various RfB's. But again, thanks so much for your confidence and trust– which, to put it simply, mean a lot to me. :) By the way, I'll try to drop by your Soundtrack of Wikipedians page as soon as I figure out just where to start. ;) Kind regards, Sango123 15:09, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Well then...

If you won't be on tomorrow *sob*, I better give you this now. *HUG BIG HUG*. Speeking of giving you things, excited about your birthday?

Love you, Thε Halo ^Θ 17:47, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Oh, wait, on until tomorrow! Damn Dyslexia!! Well, I guess you can keep the hugs anyway. You deserve them ;) Thε Halo ^Θ 17:55, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, my father was dyslexic from what I've been told. — Nathan ^(talk) _{/ 18:25, 24 July 2006 (UTC)}

[edit] Ugak! (you're welcome, sweetie)

Glad to hear you're doing better, and flattered by your message to me; I'm glad my advice was "useful"; I was worried I'd been a bit vain/presumptuous by sending you my own music, but what the heck, ya liked it and sounds like the prescription worked, too. This is just a quick note here, as you're deluged by repies right now I know; you can find my email through cayoosh.net/music or cayoosh.net/ (I don't post it on my Wiki page as I'm a bit of a firebrand in some arenas/topics). Gonna find you some hoedown music later on, since you liked the "medical" stuff. Music's my medicine, brought me back from the darkness; it's a gift I have an obligation to give, and it's always wonderful when other people like it, or find it helps them. Nobody can tell me magic isn't real. ("Ugak" isn't Chinook Jargon, by the way; it's a personal all-purpose expletive/interjection, ranging in meaning but, well, highly useful...the "ancient language of the trollkind", perhaps....;-0)Skookum1 19:07, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] cool user page

hi! can i just say how cool your user page is. Its so nice to see someone who has spent time creating a user page than someone who has just stuck a load of userboxes on. Keep up the good work. Dean randall 22:08, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nothing to say

…but I'll say something anyway. Hmmm…aha! (Not that hard to think of something to say to the undoubtedly best Wikipedian here!)

Didn't know such a small image as Image:Star*.svg existed, but I'm going to use it, saying that you are clearly one of few Wikipedians.

I'm also laughing about The Halo's dyslexia comment. But it's a good reason to give hugs (even though nobody needs a good reason to give hugs)! *Hugs tight, but not explosively tight* ;) The one and only Cliff 22:19, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Your head a splode — Nathan ^(talk) _{/ 18:24, 24 July 2006 (UTC)}

I was thinking of putting that there :P (I might want to put that userbox on my page) The one and only Cliff 22:43, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks, but I have a question

[edit] DYK

On 24 July 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Chunee, which you helped create with a great picture. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Thanks for the great cartoon picture! I used it as the DYK image on the main page -- Samir धर्म 13:15, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

User:ALoan has it all sorted. Nice article. looks like a DYK nom to me, you wanna? ++Lar: t/c 19:25, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dear Phaedriel

		The Working Woman's Barnstar
		Looking at your recent contributions page shows such hard work on just one project (which sadly I have not even visited yet—but I will! I promise) before so many other "fun" things that can be done on here, so I think you deserve this. SPREAD THE LOVE!!!!! The one and only Cliff 02:33, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Sharon

I missed you too and appreciate your thoughfulness

and looked for something you don't already have

saw you did not have a nice ride on your page

so here is a little red Corvette for your pleasure

Dakota ~

Cue up Prince - Little Red Corvette :) Try not to get any speeding tickets! ++Lar: t/c 14:58, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey, it was a great vacation thanks. Enjoy the vet it's got a DRM 450 top end engine nothing less would do for you!--Dakota ~ 20:31, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Oooh! that's pretty exciting talk DK... (I am someone who loves cars that go fast, goes fast in cars way too often, but doesn't know much about them internally)... I note all I got was a plate of cookies (for which I thank you anyway!!!! how sweet!) so I'll have to do better going forward. How about a Mini Moke next time??? :) ++Lar: t/c 11:43, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

What a sweetheart, that Dakota, she gave me a Moke after all! ++Lar: t/c 22:20, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kitten

Here's a present for you - a new pet! — Nathan ^(talk) _{/ 08:16, 25 July 2006 (UTC)}

[edit] Hi!

Wonderful work, I'm sure it'll be featured in no time. :) Write me a mail some time, will you? Hope all is well. —Nightstallion (?) 08:27, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Awesome, Amazing work Phaedriel!

Phaedriel, remember back when I first left a message on your page and said that you were one of my favourite editors? Well, as well as your never ending kindness and good cheer, all your hard work on Portal:Indigenous peoples of North America just shows how much you mean to this project. You realise that with all your work, you've made wikipedia about 5% better (which is a whole lot in terms of wikipedia. ;) There is so much to learn there, it really is one of the best portals I have ever seen (I love the orange background as well) and you, and everyone else that works there, have made it possible for people like me, and potentially millions of others, to find out so much. I know that you're a very humble and modest person, and that reading this is probably making you slightly embarrassed, but you really have done some awesome work.

Other than that, I hope that you’re well, and you're enjoying what's left of your vacation (if you're still on it). I'll talk with you soon, okay? Yours, with hugs, Thε Halo ^Θ 15:48, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiproject Cyprus

Please help me spruce things up in my newly created Wikiproject Cyprus. I know you are skilled in making great looking pages. You are wikipedia famous in that. I like the colors of green and yellow, the colors of Cyprus but there is no simple way to do this. Please help. Thanks. (UNFanatic)

[edit] Re: Thank you, my dear Cliff! (yet again)

Ooooo, a barnstar—my first one! I'm the King of the World! Wheeee! The one and only Cliff 23:56, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Edit: That is a beautiful portal! (Looks like your page) ;) 23:58, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] to Phaedriel

Hi, Phaedriel, thanks for your considerate comments on my page and for what you said about my always being welcome. I appreciate that. It is true that my original oppose vote to (I forget the name Mithra?, was based on my impression of cliqeniness, etc. It was the way he and several others reacted that actually confirmed and cemented my oppose vote. The way they went over the edge and flipped out over one oppose when there were so many supports is just bizarre to me. (It ended by being something like 132 support votes, so why get so uptight about 1 oppose?)

I never said, btw, that you personally, or any individual, for that matter, was a member of a clique and doing clique voting. The reasons, though, for support, from most of the supporters are usually quite vague. This, in itself is strange to me.

Anyway I'm sorry if you don't like the way I vote. I have my own way of thinking and seeing a lot of things. This probably confuses plenty of people. I tend to think outside the box and am not easily influenced by the opinions of others. I do like to remain openminded, however, and have had my mind changed on certain issues, when a strong case is presented through reason. I do not get influenced through the use of pressure or force. I don't see you as doing this. I do see the reaction to that oppose vote to Mithra? as pressure and intimidation because that was what it was.

Well, again, thanks for your welcome to talk on your page. Any time you want to comment on my page you are welcome also. in freedom and justice. Shannon^{duck talk} 14:27, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hello my friend!

Hi Phaedriel, are you around and, more to the point, not too busy? I just ask 'cause I jus wanted to have a chat with you about a few things. Nothing bad, I made that kind of sound like when one was younger, and you'd done something wrong, and your mum and dad wanted a word... Anyway, if your not around, or are busy, disregard this, we'll chat later, but if you are, I always love to hear from you. Talk to you soon(ish). Hugs and kiss, Thε Halo ^Θ 23:29, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Sure, I'm not going anywhere ;) Take all the time you need. Thε Halo ^Θ 23:34, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Excellent, just how I like it :) How are you Phaedriel, what have you been up to, apart from the obvious Portal edits. In fact, tell me about that. How's it going, how much more work (poor you) needs doing? Thε Halo ^Θ 23:47, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

That's probably a good idea. Uh, let's see. I did install MSN, but my computer kind of crash, and I don't have it right now. It only takes a minute to install, f you're going to be up (what am I saying, it's like 19.00 for you ;). Or, if you've got it, Skype? If not, hang in there, and I'll re-upload MSN. Kiss. Thε Halo ^Θ 23:54, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Done deal! I started installing right after I left the message ;) Talk with you soon. Thε Halo ^Θ 23:58, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Why didn't you tell em you had MSN, Sharon? I could've added you! :D Will ^{(Take me down to the Paradise City)} 00:30, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

My MSN is on my userpage :) Will ^{(Take me down to the Paradise City)} 00:41, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, technically, MSN=Windows Live Messenger now, but it's sceptre@tintower.co.uk Will ^{(Take me down to the Paradise City)} 07:11, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Not to sound too rude, but I'm still waiting :) Will ^{(Take me down to the Paradise City)} 09:18, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How are you, darling Phaedriel?

Just wondered how you were, as I haven't spoken to you for a while - hope they're no working you too hard! Your portal's looking fantastic by the way, so I guess hard work pays off...even if it does tend leave one with various stress-related diseases. Anyway, just making sure you're doing okay! Hugs, Sergeant Snopake 10:37, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Speaking of which, Snopake, what is the difference (in taste) between the USA and UK recipe—I saw in the article? The one and only Cliff 15:40, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

I really don't know. Seeing as it's English originally, the UK recipe is probably better! ;) Sergeant Snopake 10:10, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Can't say the same about football, though. Will ^{(Take me down to the Paradise City)} 11:11, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

You mean you don't think English football is better? What kind of Brit are you? ;D Sergeant Snopake 20:53, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I meant we're crap at football. (although, to be fair, we always get knocked out because of some cheater) Will ^{(Take me down to the Paradise City)} 08:15, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Just wanted to bring your attention to this. ;) The one and only Cliff 15:44, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Edit: On my love page, I seemed to have messed-up some mark-up. Basically what I want is a heart cursor on the links to Love and WikiLove, and Verdana font. (And I think I might have had the text purple, but that doesn't matter.) 00:59, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America Newsletter

Sharon, have you considered using AWB for sending out your newsletter? It's much quicker than trying to do it in a web browser. --kingboyk 16:46, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

When it works... when it doesn't, it's frustrating. I had to do last month's WP:Beatles by hand. Nice newsletter by the way!!! ++Lar: t/c 16:49, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you guys :) I suppose it's faster, true; but since we have around 40 people in our members list, it wasn't such a hard task. However, I'd like to get more familiar with AWB for the next issue of the Newsletter - and I think I've got the best teachers available... *wink wink*! :) Phaedriel ♥ The Wiki Soundtrack!♪ - 16:55, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Userpage

Everything is fine. I deleted it and manually pasted the last revision at /Userpage, where my sig now points, but not my userpage or my talkpage. The reason is, if you google for my full name in qutoes, which you must have if I ever sent you an email, an old long-deleted revision from 2005 pops up in which I identify myself - Google continues to archive this stuff even once it's gone off WP, as long as something remains on the page. The only solution is deleting it entirely, replacing with a redir. My problem is law firm interviews coming up - not threatening vandals. You can't get to it in google unless you know my full name ahead of time which vandals do not. But law firms, which Google applicants all the time apparently, do not need to see my WP activity and opinions. Once Google crawls though again and clears its cache, I will probably restore the userpage to its proper location. Meanwhile, feel free to correct the link in your trophy case! And thanks for caring. :) - CrazyRussian talk/email 19:27, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Question

I have long admired your touch with redesigning userpages. I'm pretty happy with mine at the moment (although I'd welcome suggestions, and would enjoy seeing what you'd do with it if you're inclined to play), but it occurred to me today that a page that could really use a gentle, respectful touch of design work is Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians. Would you please think about it? I haven't suggested it on the talk page there yet, as I thought I'd see if you were interested first.

As always, best wishes and happy thoughts to one of our most beloved contributors! — Catherine\^talk 21:11, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Thought I'd jump in here and say that I absolutely love your userpage, Catherine. I re-read it just yesterday, ironically, and I suggest that anyone who hasn't done so go there immediately. Some of the best writing about Wikipedia I've ever seen. I'll probably eventually break down and buy one of those posters eventually too. ;o) EWS23 (Leave me a message!) 21:34, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for taking on the challenge, Phaedriel -- I am sure you have the right touch for such a delicate job. I hope your birthday was as happy as all the wishes directed your way, and, well, I can see you don't need any "good luck" wishes on your RFA, but I hope that you are enjoying the harvest of compliments you are reaping after your many months of sowing consistent kindness, patience, and rational conversation. Please keep up the good work! — Catherine\^talk 19:54, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

• Happy early birthday! — Deckiller 15:40, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Support although this birthday nomination is bound to get some opposes, way too many pileon supports before it has actually went live. Er... wait, wrong window! Happy Birthday, sweetheart. ++Lar: t/c 16:22, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Dear Phaedriel, You've done so much to make Wikipedia a place for happy people...I hope that tomorrow you have a wonderful birthday yourself. Wishing you all the best of WikiPeace, WikiLove, and WikiHappiness! ♥— Catherine\talk 16:30, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

1. Happy close birthday (to mine), 2. Best of luck with your RfA. That is all :) - FrancisTyers · 16:45, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Happy happy birthday. Best luck on your Rfa as if you need it now. Go girl!.--Dakota ~ 17:57, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

• Happy birthday from a member of the Birthday Committee! Best wishes :), and good luck with your Rfa! Well, I felt I had to add something when I saw you on the Rfa candidates list. I said it on the Rfa, but I feel like I have to say it again...What you have done for a majority of the Wikipedians is simply amazing — spreading that wikilove. You don't need people to speak for you to show people the good, inspirational things you've done — your actions speak plainly enough, I am completely sure of that. So thank you, people like you who are full purely kind words and actions are rare. :) —Mirlen 18:13, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

• • Happy Birthday! 30 minutes early in terms of GMT, but who cares? It's not much of a present, but I've added my song list to your Soundtrack of Wikipedians. Again, happy birthday! --Tachikoma 23:40, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

• We've never spoken previously as far as I know, but you seem like a sweetheart, so happy birthday to ya. Ryu Kaze 17:14, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Oh, and good luck with the RfA. Ryu Kaze 17:17, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Borders

Hi Sharon. I have a question for your in your role as Master (Mistress?) of Userpage design. How do I add a flat (not grooved) border around a page? Thanks Guettardathehtmlchallenged 15:48, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

My userpage, actually. It could use a makeover anyway, but for the next 5 days I want a black border to mourn the death and destruction of the 1990 Jamaat al Muslimeen coup attempt. Thanks very much. Guettarda 16:00, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Perfect. Thank you. Have a great birthday tomorrow, and enjoy your RFA. Guettarda 16:36, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] nothing personal

I voted neutral on your RfA. I feel guilty doing this due to the huge support as well as the fairly trivial nature of my observation. Nevertheless, I think it is important to give feedback that is honest too. May be i am destined to be labelled as a nitpicker but I hope my comments can be viewed as constructive. Good luck as an admin, this one is a slam dunk (possibly WP:200) :) And have a Happy Birthday tomorrow! David D. (Talk) 17:45, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Congratulations!!!

Your RfA will surely hit WP:200. Maybe even WP:300. By the way, I added myself to your Soundtrack of Wikipedians page. Happy birthday, too. ~ crazytales56297 -talk- 18:44, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry :(

Don't worry about that oppose vote — that user often opposes RfAs, so it's not your fault per se. — Deckiller 20:45, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

• You have e-mail! Johntex\^talk 21:16, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
• You have fans! ++Lar: t/c 22:13, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Sockpuppet allegations have risen — any odds that it's accurate? — Deckiller 22:15, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the message :) Below that oppose vote, someone noticed an edit parallel between that opposer and a previous blocked user. — Deckiller 22:45, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Queen!

You're a huge queen fan, eh?! Awesome; they're my second favorite band (next to Rush)! — Deckiller 22:59, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Happy Birthday

Have a happy birthday from the Wikipedia Birthday committee! Am I sending this on the right day? UTC always confuses me. :) Oh, and best of luck on your RfA, not that you need it, you'll make a great and helpful admin. +Hexagon1 ^(t) 03:34, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks from Yanksox!

Hey RfA-candidate-that-killed-the-amount-of-supports-I-got-in-seven-days-in-12-hours-person, thanks for supporting my RfA, which registered a tally of 104/4/7. Which means... I am now an admin!!! I was and still am very flattered by all the kind comments that I recieved, I will also take into account the comments about how I could improve. I guarantee I will try my best to further assist Wikipedia with the mop. Feel free to drop in and say hi or if you need anything. Again, thank you so much! Yanksox 04:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I fixed those stats. Apparently, you're a RfA-candidate-that-killed-the-amount-of-supports-I-got-in-seven-days-in-two-person, when in reality you hit 100 supports in eleven hours :D --Draicone ^(talk) 08:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Ok, go ahead, rub it in. :P Yanksox 08:08, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

The Wikipedia Birthday Committee wishes you a very happy birthday! Enjoy your special day.

Many happy returns and enjoy the day! And, much good luck on your RfA, although I'm quite sure that you'll be a wonderful admin when the RfA ends (no if's needed :-))! Thistheman 04:35, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday, dear Sharon. I actually waited until midnight CDT on the 29th. ;o) I hope it's a great one. I know people will give you more than enough sweets, so I thought I'd give you a beautiful Texas Bluebonnet from my home state. Take care, and enjoy the weekend to the fullest. :o) Hugs, EWS23 (Leave me a message!) 05:13, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Happy Birthday, too!

Before your birthday is over (in my time zone; it's already over in yours), here's a "H*A*P*P*Y B*I*R*T*H*D*A*Y. I'd wanted to dig you up a funny pic/e-card but it's been a hectic day; hoedown music coming, once I pick the tracks. Did you go dancing today? (I hope so; it's what birthdays are for...).Skookum1 06:45, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Backlog of birthday wishes :)

Hi Phaedriel, All the way from mine to the recent wishes by other birthday committee members and beyond, you're clearly going to get a lot of birthday wishes. How about we create User talk:Phaedriel/Happy birthday! and put them all there so that we don't add to your talk page backlog :) --Draicone ^(talk) 08:14, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My birthday wishes...

Well, it's the 29th, and it's your BIRTHDAY!

   

Click on the bow to open your gifts!

Hope you enjoy these (it's hard to find anything of practical use on the wiki...) Happy Birthday. Thε Halo ^Θ 09:51, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

You know that you never have to say please on you birthday, right? It's a law, or something ;) Of course we'll talk later. I'm looking forward to it. Thε Halo ^Θ 15:12, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Happy Birthday (from Snopake)

Happy Birthday, Phaedriel! Here are some birthday gifts from the Sergeant!

A bottle of scent (TV NOT INCLUDED)!

I'm sure a bunch of people'll be giving you kittens, so here's a pet rock to balance it out!

Some gingerbread for you!

And, finally, the Earth form space!

I hope you have a great birthday! Sergeant Snopake 10:34, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Wow, how can you top a gift of a whole planet! Happy birthday, dearest... now where did I put my copy of Venus and Mars ++Lar: t/c 11:15, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lar tells me...

That my co-nomming of your RfA is not authorized and you're too nice to remove it. So I'll be polite and remove it. 1ne 21:46, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

That's not actually what I meant, as I've explained at some length, but apparently to no success. ++Lar: t/c 14:30, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Belated all the way around

Happy birthday! Sorry I'm late for that and for the RFA. (Pity it's going so badly...185 pro votes is entirely too few.) Geogre 01:13, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moody

Congrats on your RFA, as I only just found out about it. Also congrats on your Birthday, for which I date I have no idea. I'm just a bit moody cause you're gonna be an admin after only a short while, & here I am 3 FA's later & just cause I'm a grumpy editor, I get nothing. You deserve your nomination, but I just don't think I'll become one cause I'm such a grump around here. If I got nominated, there'd be all my history of grumpiness brought up. I don't know why I'm telling you all this. As I said, I guess I'm just a grump. Spawn Man 01:24, 30 July 2006 (UTC). :(

[edit] Happy Birthday West Pacific style

• Ok, its finally your birthday out on the far fringes of the Pacific. (OK, it has been for a while now, but I've been busy). Therefore, as the sun sets on your birthday, I hope it has been a fun-filled occasion, and I wish you many more such days of joy for the future. Johntex\^talk 02:02, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image questions from your RfA

Hello, I'm checking into some image tags and I have a recommendation:

• Image:OklahomaCityPolice.jpg I think should be tagged as {{fairusein}} for the Oklahoma City Police Department article. Photos of 2 dimensional works can be used under fair use. You would want to specify the name of the article and write out the fair use justification on the image page. Also, I think you need to remove it from your gallery or linkimage it there. Fair use images are not allowed in the User space. (I've had to remove several from my own gallery). Johntex\^talk 02:32, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm confident that you'll put in the time to brushing up on image policy issues, and frankly I was unhappy about opposing. Please don't be shy about asking for help -- this is supposed to be a collaborative effort, after all, and it would be nice if my time doing image cleanup was useful to other editors. Jkelly 19:10, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Happy late birthday!

Wow, I am late. But it's still July 29 here in California! (And in Oklahoma as I write this, anyway). And so…hmmm, what is there to give you? Snopake gave you gingerbread, a rock, etc., but—I know! I can sure give you a hug! (And many more…) ;) So then, many hugs from Cliff, and more to come tomorrow since tomorrow is my birthday! The one and only Cliff 03:25, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Amazing User Page

Hey, Happy Birthday! Thanks for all your contributions, really helpful when i want to 'immerse myself in knowledge'. Nice user page too! TheCyrus

[edit] Several things

Hello Phaedrial: First thing, happy birthday! And also, congratulations on your overwhelming support for the post of administrator. While I don't feel quite qualified to participate in it, being away from Wikipedia so long, I wish you good luck in whatever tasks you may encounter in the future with your forthcoming mop.

I had one quick comment about something I spotted on your user page, specifically your list of "Being Indian in the XXI". While I can't comment on the majority of the list, not having experienced or being knowledgeable about most of those matters, I do wish to point out one little theological point. You say:

It is having a Christian missionary tell you it is wrong to believe in more than one Divine Being, then listen to him tell you about God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost, the Virgin Mary, St. Joseph, St. Patrick, St. Christopher, St. Francis, etc.

In the Catholic tradition (where the various saints come from), there is only one Divine Being, that being God. Jesus Christ is also said to be the same God, being one of the Three Persons in One Nature. The Virgin Mary is not said to be a Divine Being, but rather a created being, as are the saints and (in fact) the rest of creation. So, if a Christian missionary was speaking of God and the other characters, he would still only be speaking of one Divine Being, and other created beings.

I would be very grateful if you do (if you know another language apart from English and the ones on my userpage please feel free to post it on) P.S. all th translations are in alpahbetical order so when you add one please put it in alpahbetical order according to the language.

I'm glad you noticed that TUF and I had been talking as a result of your Soundtrack page - it's already been a pretty awesome way to meet people, ain't it?

[edit] Re:Dear Ambuj

Hi,

Saw your note. I have waiting for a long time to ask these questions in an RfA, and never got any big opportunity. Either there were tense times in the RfA, or there were too few people involved, for the questions to make an impact. Since there wasn't any problem with your RfA, I went ahead. BTW, Question No. 2 was tailer-made for you. I see your talk page is protected. Daniel, is it? Anyways, about the portal, I am personally not happy. The community thinks otherwise, so there's no reason to argue just to make a POINT. It may be because my expectations are higher than that set by the community, but since I am not convinced they are, I am not removing my oppose. Probably it won't matter much and the portal looks all set to get featured. It is all because of your hard work, something undeniable. Best of luck. Regards, — Ambuj Saxena (talk) 14:47, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
